Watched this movie last night and can’t stop thinking about it. I love how it delves into how awful obsessive thoughts and compulsions can be through physical manifestations of body horror. I’m not really a horror fan! But this freaked me out while speaking to the deepest parts of me better than most of my recent movie watches ever could.

I feel like I need to say that I was not prepared for this film. I saw the trailer and thought ‘hell yeah, looks cool’ - but I did not know the extents to where it would go. Deeply terrifying, had to watch fun little youtube videos so I could fall asleep.
Having slept off the sheer fear though, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this movie. Potentially changed the relationship I have with myself.
See it in the cinema if you think you can hack it. However, I have realised that body horror is maybe not my thing lol

Unequivocally the most harrowing film I have ever seen and I cannot get it out of my head….
Deeply disturbing , anxiety inducing, compelling, stomach churning. Shot and written with effective precision, without overkill or gratuitous exploitation. Movies about the human will to survive are hard to do without being either corny or played out and this does follow a similar narrative arc but I really appreciated how it was told. I recommend watching the little docu about the making of the film. I love production. Unbelievable true story and really compelling film

I expected this to be graphic considering its subject matter but it’s a purely psychological thriller with a twisted bent. This movie gave me chills and deeply unsettled me in ways I was not expecting!!! brilliant commentary on the nature of true crime content, with realistic depictions of technology… The lead is an incredibly fascinating and complex female character. highly recommend if you haven’t seen it…

I really love feeling clean. But I also hate falling asleep with wet hair. But I can also just wear a beanie in the morning. And I know I won’t shower tomorrow if I put it off tonight. I want to feel clean.
